What we do ...

CorGro is not just a consulting company. Our task is to develop solutions for and with our clients. We support you from the "Fuzzy Front End" of innovation to the implementation of the developed concept. In order to create measurable added value for our customers during their cooperation with CorGro, the focus on the implementation and achievement of concrete results is very important for us. We create together a clarity concerning the goal of the project, we use internal and external resources to create new knowledge and develop (and if requested implement) concepts.

Innovation efforts often fail because products or services are developed in a way that fails to reflect customer needs. We help companies to gain a deeper understanding of customer needs and market conditions and to identify value added potential.

During an innovation project it can be very important to build a prototype. CorGro will gladly support you. However, we are also your reliable partner for contract manufacturing of small and large series production.

CorGro Innovation Model

Success or failure of a product or service has already been defined in a very early stage of the innovation process. To be able to launch a product or service on the market efficiently it is important to increase the predictability already during the innovation process. How do we achieve that? By answering the following three questions: Who is the customer? Where is innovation necessary? What does the customer want?

The process starts with the analysis of the own industry. In many industries the products and services of the companies hardly differ from each other. The customer is spoilt for choice and select the least expensive provider. The goal of this
process step is the identification of innovation gaps.

This process step includes the identification of the stakeholders across the value chain and their core jobs. The goal of this process step is to select customer groups for them the company
wants to create added value.

Not all needs of a specific customer group are equally important. Unfulfilled needs have
huge potential for innovation, over-fulfilled needs have high potential for savings. The goal
of this process step is to prioritize and to select customer needs. These customer needs have
to be satisfied with a product or service.

In order that a product or service becomes an economic success it is necessary to meet
customer needs precisely. Therefore, it is important to know which jobs customers have to carry out and what are the challenges of these jobs. The
needs must not be confused with the feedback received. The goal of this process step is the
identification of solution-neutral customer needs.

Some of the identified and prioritized customer needs are already fulfilled with existing
products and services. In this process step the identified customer needs will be compared
with the features of existing products and services. This determines if existing products and
services should be further developed or a completely new development is necessary.

The inputs from the previous process steps are the basis for developing new ideas and for setting up a development
project for the implementation. Thereby the focus is on the efficient project management up to the time of the
market launch of the product or service.
